Amazing; 38 people have looked and there are no replies yet. Wish there were some. Those guys are probably having way to much fun to load pictures.

Probably 39 of us waiting to see what is happening... I hope I can be there 2017

Gosh dang it I have flown with/against Bob? cant remember his last name. The light blue plane at the bottom. Even ran into him at the Reno air races 2 years ago. How about that German Camo schemed Shark, thats badass!

Mike Keville · « **Reply #6 on:** March 16, 2016, 09:29:24 PM »

Light blue model at bottom of pic is Jim Rhodes' "Apteryx". Luftwaffe camo Shark is Charles Reeves' "Humbler".

Glad it's not your wing Clint!

I've seen Charlie's "Humbler" in St. Louis before, very, very nice.

Clint Ormosen · « **Reply #8 on:** March 16, 2016, 10:35:24 PM »

The plane in the front row, third from the bottom, is Gordan Delaney's Super Viking. Only model to receive 20 AP's. Well deserved too!

With the exceptions of Clint and Mikey, I guess they are too busy flying of a day and partying of a night.

No pictures, but some impressions. VSC is more lightly attended this year. But then I've noticed that everywhere we go in Tucson there are less people so it may not be related to VSC (there were about half the number of people in Tubac today than last year). The weather has been awesome. Cool in the morning with some wind but not unflyable at all. Turbulent later in the morning. Not splats (apart from mine) and I believe I'm the odds on favorite for the Pachyderm award.

Edit: Jim Hoffman told me that the attendance was much the same, just more Old Time fliers and less Classic and Super 70s.

Can I ask who the Quasar belongs to? I believe that was a Bob English design. Beautiful.

Gordy's Bellanca is AWESOME! Don't remember who designed it but will look it up in my binders tonight. I remember the article but not the author/designer.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #23 on:** March 18, 2016, 07:02:20 PM »

Great day today. After the official flights were done, Clint Ormosen let Bart Klapinski fly his Tempest. It was an awesome flight. Possibly the best flight I've seen the entire week. Smooth, tight corners and a wicked presentation. As he was watching flight, Clint said, well, at least I know it WILL fly that well (Client flew it pretty well too after smacking it yesterday). I think Clint better keep an eye on that plane or Bart will walk off with it. He said it was really fun to fly. Nice job, Clint.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #24 on:** March 18, 2016, 07:05:09 PM »

Ted, it's a Jim Young design. And something you don't see is not only is it a scale interior complete with steering yoke, pedals and I swear a miniaturized radio, but it has a head liner with chrome retention bands. It really is AWESOME. He could just about fly this in scale and do well.

Steve Helmick · « **Reply #25 on:** March 18, 2016, 07:29:41 PM »

Do you know what power Gordan has in his Bellanca? Did they let people fly electric powered? A year or two ago, they said "No electrics". Just wondering.

A MAN'S model, way to keep the flame Gordan.

I remember seeing photos here of the Bellanca back when it was getting finished up, it's as good as it gets.

Yup. Just looked it up in my binders. October '69 MAN. The original was gorgeous as well. Gordon is a true modeler's modeler.

Hope he's getting around better than the last time I saw him. Is his Sandy with him? Between the two of them they've been suffering real hitches in their get-a-longs for several years now. Sure hope they're both back up to speed.

Haven't seen Sandy, but Gordy seems to be getting along pretty well.

I wanted to recognize the Viking as being supurb from my viewe, also I was so surprised to see the Quazar has a near identical paint job as I put on my Olympus.

Here is some video of Bart doing a pattern with my Tempest. Sorry about the quality. I had start the engine then get the camera going in a hurry and get around the circle a bit.

OK Clint, next time I see you in Woodland I want to see you fly like that!

It must be all those years at Disney World. Bart makes it look so easy. Of course having a great airplane helps too. Now go show them at the next contest.

VSC permits electric power in all events except of course OTS IGNITION.

VSC has always permitted electrics

Thanks Mike,
Yes it's my Blue Angel and it was built in 1996 and flew in 8 previous VSC's. Scarinzi was there the first year it was flown. I miss him, and you these days! It's picked up a bit of extra weight in repairs (6 oz) and doesn't fly quite as well as it did originally, but 27% nitro does amazing things! Still fun to fly even for a rickety old guy!

Didn't get the Colossus finished in time for this VSC!

Maybe next year!!

Hi Ted, Sorry to hear you where under the weather just before leaving. Hope your feeling better. The weather was great all week. Thank you for the nice comments about the Bellanca. I was doing fair with my pain pills. Sandy is waiting for surgery on her left ankle in April. She is a strong woman and a good one too. I always looked up to you for years. Your always a good sport and have high standards which I admire.. Just a little note on my last flight I had one of those great flights going on right up to the time I forgot the Hourglass. Not so happy camper.
